To provide a savings vehicle for individuals to earn tax-free investment income.
Account features:
A Tax-Free Savings Account can be opened by any Canadian Resident who:
is 18 years or older (no maximum age)and has a Social Insurance number
Although deposits are not tax-deductible, any interest earned on your TFSA is not taxable.
After 2009, the $5,000 maximum contribution limit may be increased depending on the rate of inflation; rounded to the nearest $500, e.g. if the rate of inflation in 2009 is 5.1%, in 2010, the maximum would increase to $5,500 ($5,000 x 5.1% = $255; nearest $500 is $5,500). Therefore the limit will increase some years, but not every year.
Contributions are not tax deductible.
Any unused contribution room will be carried forward indefinitely.
Withdrawals made during one year, will increase your contribution room for the following years.
You do not need to earn any income to obtain TFSA contribution room, but you must file a tax return in order for the Canada Revenue Agency to provide your contribution room information.
For more information, please visit us in either branch or call Devron, our investment specialist, at 937-6557.
